Three words of advice for the new Commission on Artificial Intelligence

Incoming European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has pledged to present an EU approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) within her first 100 days of taking office. However, the clock is already ticking and the EU needs to look at boosting the uptake and development of AI now while safeguarding citizens' rights, values and principles. This is an opportunity to not only build a framework for'Trustworthy AI', but also to take a leading role in AI to society's benefit. To do this, there are three points to keep in mind: working with the tools that we have, applying agile and inclusive policymaking, and boosting investment. To start, let's not fall into the trap of limiting or overregulating the market.
